Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to scheduling assignment transmission timing by a base station for a D2D UE. In one embodiment, a base station may determine timing information for transmission of SA associated with a D2D Tx UE and then transmit the timing information to the UE. A D2D-grant signaling may also be transmitted from the base station to the UE. Responsive to receiving the D2D-grant signaling from the base station, the D2D Tx UE may firstly transmit the SA to other UE(s) according to the indicated timing information. In one embodiment, the timing information may be included in the D2D-grant signaling. In this way, timing of the SA transmission is determined by the base station and informed to the UE, and since the base station controls the SA transmission timings of in-coverage UEs, an appropriate timing of the SA transmission may be selected for the UE so as to guarantee UEs transmitting SAs have opportunities to receive the SA transmissions of other UEs.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communications in which an unlicensed spectrum may be used for cellular communications (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE) communications). More particularly, the described features relate to improving resource management in a multi-radio or multi-modem wireless device by utilizing one radio or modem (e.g., a wireless local area network (WLAN) radio) to inform the operation of another radio or modem (e.g., an LTE radio) co-located on the wireless device. The monitoring radio (e.g., WLAN radio) may scan an unlicensed or shared spectrum for interfering signals (e.g., military, weather, etc.) transmitted on designated channels within the shared spectrum. Upon detection of the interfering signal, the monitoring radio may generate a spectrum analysis of the detected interference and inform the second radio (e.g., LTE radio) to modify its operation based on the spectrum analysis.

Abstract: A method for receiving uplink control information in a wireless communication system supporting carrier aggregation (CA), and a base station therefore are discussed. The method according to one embodiment includes transmitting downlink data through a first downlink component carrier (DL CC) or a second DL CC; receiving an acknowledgement/not-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK); and receiving periodic channel state information (CSI).
